The "Typically Ships Within" value is an estimate of the number of calendar days within which this product is ready to ship from Campbell Scientific. Orders with more than 10 built-to-order products will likely increase the time needed to prepare the order for shipping.

To estimate how long it will take to receive an order that contains multiple products, combine the longest Ships Within value with the transit time of the shipping method you select.

Some specialized products have long Ships Within values. Because of this, you might consider submitting a separate order for these products so your other products won't be delayed.

The CS705 snowfall adapter converts the TE525WS rain gage to a year-round rain and snow gage. It requires 2.5 gallons of antifreeze (10869). For customers who wish to supply their own antifreeze, a 1:1 mixture of propylene glycol and ethanol (PGE) is recommended.

The 10869 provides a package of four one-gallon containers of 50:50 PG:E Antifreeze for the CS705 Tipping Bucket Snowfall Adapter. The antifreeze can be shipped to continental US destinations ONLY via ground transport; air freight is NOT permissible.

The CM300 provides a 23-inch long pole for mounting the TE525WS. This pole can be embedded directly into a concrete foundation or used with a pedestal kit. Campbell Scientific offers a j-bolt pedestal kit for permanent installations; a short leg kit for many temporary installations and many situations where it is impractical to use a concrete foundation; and a long leg kit for locations where the feet cannot be secured (e.g., pole sitting on a roof) or for areas that experience high wind speeds.

Select this if you are embedding the pole directly in a concrete foundation or supplying your own method for supporting the pole.

-PJ

-PJ Pedestal J-Bolt Kit

Select this option to attach the pole onto a concrete foundation using j-bolts. With this kit, customers can more easily control the pole's placement ensuring that the pole remains in a vertical position. Each j-bolt includes nuts and washers.

-PS

-PS Pedestal Short Legs

Pedestal Short Leg Kit includes three 23-inch legs, three metal feet, and a pedestal base. Feet can be secured to the ground via the 17049 Grounding Spikes (see Other Accessories). This pedestal kit is adequate for many temporary installations and for many situations where it is impractical to use a concrete foundation.

-PL

-PL Pedestal Long Legs

The long leg option includes three 39-inch legs, three metal feet, and a pedestal base. Feet can be secured to the ground via the 17049 Grounding Spikes (see Other Accessories). The long leg kit provides more stability for locations where the feet cannot be secured (e.g., pole sitting on a roof) or for areas that experience high wind speeds.

The CM305 provides a 47-inch long pole for mounting the TE525WS. This pole can be embedded directly into a concrete foundation or used with a pedestal kit. Campbell Scientific offers a j-bolt pedestal kit for permanent installations; a short leg kit for many temporary installations and many situations where it is impractical to use a concrete foundation; and a long leg kit for locations where the feet cannot be secured (e.g., pole sitting on a roof) or for areas that experience high wind speeds.

The CM310 provides a 56-inch long pole for mounting the TE525WS. This pole can be embedded directly into a concrete foundation or used with a pedestal kit. Campbell Scientific offers a j-bolt pedestal kit for permanent installations; a short leg kit for many temporary installations and many situations where it is impractical to use a concrete foundation; and a long leg kit for locations where the feet cannot be secured (e.g., pole sitting on a roof) or for areas that experience high wind speeds.

Replacement Parts

The 5603 is for newer TE525-series rain gages that have the reed switch enclosed in a black plastic housing. A screwdriver is required to replace the switch and rewire the connections. This replacement can generally be accomplished by users who wish to perform the replacement themselves. Alternatively, an RMA may be requested from Campbell Scientific, and the switch can be replaced by one of our technicians; this option may be more viable if the rain gage is scheduled to undergo factory recalibration at the same time.

The 30272 is similar to the 5603 (see above), but it does not include terminal lugs. Users can often perform the replacement themselves. Alternatively, an RMA may be requested from Campbell Scientific and the switch can be replaced by one of our technicians. If your TE525MM rain gage has a reed switch that is encapsulated in glass with a red potting compound on either end of the glass tube, the rain gage should be returned to Campbell Scientific for replacement of both the reed switch and the tipping bucket mechanism.

Services

The 16567 is offered for customers wanting factory calibration. When factory calibration is ordered, Campbell Scientific will calibrate the rain gage using a procedure similar to that described in the manual (summing the recorded tips expected given a known volume of liquid passing through the gage then adjusting the calibration based on the result). Recalibration requires an RMA (Returned Material Authorization).

Note: the funnel is not required for the recalibration process. It may be removed to save on shipping costs, but the size of the funnel is required for the recalibration process and should be supplied with the base of the gage.
